Gold and GDXJ analysis (Dec. 2019)

Gold Spot and GDXJ Analysis

This is my first blog article for my eTorian Copiers and Followers.
I wanted to share my view and technical analysis on Gold and GDXJ.
Most of the pictures and prices where generated using the eToro platform as the main source.

My discipline tries to put together technical and fundamental analysis to produce a view of where the market prices might go in the near future.

Gold Spot Analysis

As you can see from Figure 1 of the gold spot prices, the Gold has been consolidating inside a multi-year triangle that recently was finally broken to the upside. Around mid-June of this year the prices of the gold broke through the Resistance 1 (on violet) slightly below 1350$ and went all the way through the Support 1. It continued to grow until it hit a new major resistance point (Resistance 2).
Then it began to consolidate for the rest of the 2019.
If we check the RSI indicator, we can observe that on the weekly chart the values have been trending lower after the major break through, typical of a consolidation phase.
The RSI is now approaching for the third time the upper limit of the descending trend. If it breaks out, it could represent an early warning that the end of the consolidation phase is near and the gold is ready to begin to move higher and most likely to break the Resistance 2 level, toward the next long term resistance level which could be 1750$.
If it fails to break though the RSI negative trend, it might take another round of several months of consolidation. A big role will be played from the strength of the dollar index (which many expert predict will weaken for next several years) and the central banks with particular focus on the FED.

Figure 1

That the time the gold is getting ready to break out is approaching could be better appreciated in the next picture that takes a closer look to the gold spot daily chat (Figure 2).

Figure 2

In the picture we can observe that the Gold prices already broke through the RSI descending trend-line and it is approaching the upper limit of the triangle inside which was trading since August. If it will able to break thought the Breakout 1 resistance levels, it might propel up to the Breakout 2 resistance.
Due to the relatively high levels of RSI and the record high longs very close to 300K contracts net long among major speculators (Figure 3), I doubt that in the short time the gold prices will have sufficient propulsion to break above 1550$.
I would expect that it will bounds off it and will begin a new period of consolidation between 1400$ and 1550$, too much optimism in the short time can be seen as a contrarian signal that must be worked out and absorbed before the next big move arrives.

  GDXJ Analysis

This is the asset that I personally will use in my trading to take advantage of the positive outlook for the Gold prices. It's possible to buy shares of this volatile ETF which normally trades in accordance with the Gold prices or price expectation but with larger moves, it pays no daily commissions and distribute ok dividends.
As you can see in Figure 4, also the GDXJ ETF has been trading for years inside a large triangle and printed a temporary low in the second half of 2018.

Figure 4





During the second half of the 2019, following the move of the Gold prices moved through the resistance slightly above the level 35$. It then began to consolidate between this level which began a support level and the next resistance level around 43$ but perhaps due to the anticipation for a move higher for the Gold, the GDXJ has already broken trough the RSI negative trend-line even in the weekly chart.
If during the next year will be able to break through the level of 43$, the next target could be above 50$.
I find this type of asset a good protection for my stocks portfolio, for this reason I increased to above 13% the exposure to this asset and I plan to trade it rather aggressively during the consolidation period that will follow.

Monthly Report (April, 2020)

April's month back to profit. Dear Copier and Followers, After the last week of February and the first two weeks of March, our portfolio rich on very volatile titles fell to what I believe is our Portfolio's bottom and started to recover. We completed the month of April with a profit slightly above 14%, the lose from the beginning of the year is about 41%. Figure 1 shows the structure of the Portfolio that will begin the trading month of May. Figure 1: PortFolio composition The stocks composition is still quit low since I believe the run up was a bit too fast and the market will need some time to consolidate and digest the gains. If you want to read more of my opinion on this subject you can read my recent entry on the Nasdaq here: Nasdaq analysis (24.04.2020). There is a new entry on our PortFolio which is the currencies, I normally don't trade currency pairs but due the very special situation we are observing I was compelled to begin trading the pair ...

Technical Analysis   I think that this is a good time to share with my readers and copiers my view on how the gold market evolved in recent time and related assets. Almost 4 months has past since my last Gold update, after the latest market development it's time to update our view. If you are interested to check out my previous analysis, here it is: Gold Analysis 29.12.2019. Gold Spot Price Analysis The evolution of the Gold Spot prices gives a very good indication of what has happened in recent time in the market and it can also give clear indications on when one market phase is ending and a new phase is starting. Long Term view On Figure 1 we take a long term view point, with the weekly chart of the Gold Spot prices taken from the eToro trading platform chart-system. Figure 1: Weekly Chart Gold Spot In a long term view we can observe that the Gold fell from the heights of the post-crisis period of 2011 (around 1900$) to a bottom around the end of 2016 ...

Quarterly Report (2021)

  I quarter (2021), a quarter of correction and consolidation Dear Copier and Followers, we began the first quarter of the 2021, with a long and relatively frustrating period of consolidation and correction, we recorded a 5.9% decline, which in my opinion is a good opportunity to increase the copy amount because I expect this to be the bottom quarter for our Portfolio for the year 2021. The stock component of our PortFolio are on prevalence composed by technology assets. Even though this assets class is predicted to under perform cyclical and industrial assets, I like to trade their higher volatility. On this regard this is actually the best period to trade them with a high turn over and take advantage of a VXN above 25 on a regular basis. We have stored a significant amount of cash, about 30% of the portfolio that will be used if a good opportunity will occur and to quickly rotate capitals in and out of assets.   What went down? All of what could be defined as hedge assets: T...
